@VKilko I would suggest to consider the approach by https://github.com/davidventura/firefox-translator

It has OCR and offline translation

It works okay, thanks. The most problem is the incurrence. The OCR works only with perfect images very well but works and you can't copy some specific texts from the image. Second is the translate engine need a improvement, but mostly is it understandable good or not.
